Buckle bunny
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Dicdef. Only one source. Last AFD was closed as "keep" with no policy-based arguments brought up. Those arguing that more sources existed never came forward to WP:PROVEIT. A search found only unreliable sources such as Urban Dictionary, or works that use the term "buckle bunny" without defining it. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 06:06, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to groupie. There's nothing in this article that can't be said in one sentence in the groupie article. Buckle bunnies seem to essentially be rodeo groupies. There aren't any sources out there to show that this term is notable outside of the notability that the idea of groupies seem to have. There's enough out there to show that this term is in use, but not enough to show that this slang is exceptionally notable.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:35, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Procedural close. The last AfD was closed as follows: "The result was keep. The issue of merging can be discussed on the article's talk page."  I see no indication that this was done. If, on the other hand, we are going to keep this discussion open, then I have to !vote keep subject to that same subsequent merge discussion.  In addition to the scholarly article currently cited, GBooks has a feature article on this topic from a 1994 issue of Spin along with a variety of other references, and GNews has a number of articles on the topic such as .  --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:35, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * There is no need to "procedural close" just because merging was brought up in the last AFD. I didn't express an opinion on merging in this AFD, so any "merge" !votes from the last one are immaterial here. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:10, 8 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep per previous AFD. We also have puck bunny, etc.  These are sporting event groupies and not at all mentioned in the groupie article.  The groupie article is currently all about entertainers, so the point is rather than a delete, those who care should just get off their ass slap on a merge tag, and if no one complains, then do the actual work to merge the sports articles, and then create a couple redirects.

 * Keep per what from the previous AFD? As I said, everyone was all "But there are sources!!!" and utterly failed to prove it. Why is everyone bringing up merging when I SAID NOTHING about merging?! Moving the content to another page does nothing to fix the lack of sourcing. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:50, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Not really sure what the deletion rationale is. If it's that the article is short and has minimal sourcing, then tag it for that.  If the material should be incorporated into groupie, put on a merge tag.  These problems alone aren't grounds for deletion.  If you are denying that such a creature exists, then here is the basic search.  If you want to do the same to similar articles, then is this a co-nom with puck bunny, or are we just picking on rodeo :-) ?   Montanabw (talk) 21:53, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The deletion rationale is "I don't think this is notable and couldn't find any sources on it", which is a reason for deletion. As I already said, my searches found nothing but unreliable sites such as Urban Dictionary, lyrics databases for a Brooks & Dunn song with that term in it, or just other works that used "buckle bunny" without defining it. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:06, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * LOL! The google search "buckle bunny" actually gets twice as many hits as "puck bunny."  Are you nominating them both for deletion?  As far as sources, this appears to be a reliable one: http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/buckle%2Bbunny "a woman who is a follower or devotee of rodeos and cowboys."  I don't know if WiseGeek passes WP:RS, but they have a definition also.    Montanabw (talk) 22:34, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Even with that search it's still only a WP:DICDEF. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 23:48, 8 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect to Groupie per Tokyogirl, along with Puck Bunny. (What? No Baseball Annie?) Clarityfiend (talk) 02:09, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Humorous comment also no Ski bum and snow bunny has been made into an article about an actual place name!  Montanabw (talk) 19:35, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:02, 15 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge to groupie; there are refs indicating the term has been used, but is it really used enough to merit its own article? Is there anything special to say about them? Or are they just a type of groupie?  --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:34, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as dictdef. Mebbe try Buckle bunny. Sorry, Mbw, don't make me look at puck bunny… Br&#39;er Rabbit (talk) 14:51, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
